Remix of Airtripper's Extruder Spins Faster for Less, No Need to Fork Out for Another Gearbox! Upgrading my old 3D printer extruder with custom gears yields impressive torque without breaking the bank! Replacing a pricey gearbox is no longer necessary as this hack gives similar performance without the hefty price tag. I repurposed components from Airtripper's Extruder, cleverly adapting their design for more speed and less financial burden. Modifying the Drive Gear Works Like a Charm! This tweak makes my extruder move with purpose and authority - thanks to a perfectly selected ratio! Original drive gear remains in place while select spare parts breathe new life into the assembly. Savings on spares go toward future projects instead of pricey add-ons! Build It, And Then Get Moving With Ease Parts needed: All you'll need is every part from Airtripper's Extruder minus the actual block that handles melted plastic. 2 x precision-engineered 625zz bearings bring exceptional quality and reliability. Secure fasteners - M5 x 45 hex bolt + a matching nut keep it all together smoothly. Finally, carefully selected washers provide the extra cushion needed to get started.
